Honeycomb Structure Design Based on Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The element model of a honeycomb structure is established by using ANSYS software. Then theinfluence of design parameters such as inscribed circle diameter and thicknessof honeycomb on the strength and stiffness of honeycomb structure is explored.Under a given external load condition, the honeycomb structure which satisfies the equivalent stress criteria is got by changing inscribed circle diameter,wall thickness and skin thickness of a standard structure respectively. Comparethe weight of honeycomb structure get from these three methods and generalize a method of honeycomb structure lightweight design which satisfies different requirements.
